REF’s picks

We are backing Club Tijuana to secure an away win here, as their superior league positioning and defensive resilience contrast sharply with Necaxa's struggling run near the foot of the table. Xolos arrive with solid momentum despite a few draws, whereas Necaxa have lacked bite in attack and continue to leak goals regularly.

1. 1Tijuana sit comfortably higher in the standings and show far greater stability across recent matches.
2. 2Necaxa's lack of consistent goalscorers outside of Julian Carranza leaves them vulnerable against organized defenses.
3. 3Away fixtures in Liga MX are notoriously tricky, and Tijuana have occasionally struggled to convert draws into maximum points.
